Stop the presses! Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield—the exes we’re all secretly rooting for (don’t lie)—had a heartwarming reunion at the 2025 Golden Globes on Sunday, January 5, proving once and for all that being friendly with your ex is possible. Take notes, everyone.
The reunion happened at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, where the stars showed up looking like a million bucks—or in Golden Globes currency, about ten awards. Photographer Greg Williams captured the moment and blessed Instagram with a shot of Andrew grinning like he just heard the best knock-knock joke, standing next to Emma and her husband, Dave McCary. Yes, Dave was there too, holding it down like the cool, secure guy he is. (Dave, you’re doing amazing, sweetie.)
For the uninitiated, Emma and Andrew dated from 2011 to 2015 and have somehow remained friends. A miracle in Hollywood terms, honestly. Back in 2023, Emma even had a “caught-on-camera” cute moment when she spotted Andrew at a screening of her movie Poor Things. We’re guessing the title of the movie was not inspired by their breakup.
But wait, there’s more! The Golden Globes weren’t just about Emma and Andrew’s cheerful vibes. During the ceremony, Emma and Dave got a shout-out from another ex—Kieran Culkin, who dated Emma pre-Garfield in 2010-2011. In his acceptance speech for winning Best Supporting Actor in A Real Pain (irony, much?), Kieran thanked Emma, Dave, and producer Ali Herting. “You guys are amazing,” he said, leaving everyone wondering if there’s a secret club for Emma’s exes where they meet up to trade notes and compliments.
The Golden Globes proved two things: (1) Emma Stone is basically the goddess of amicable breakups, and (2) Andrew Garfield is still one of the funniest people in the room—especially when that room includes his ex and her husband. Bravo, everyone. Bravo.
